Abstract:

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for a combined sensor device. In some implementations, a combined sensor device includes a wrap-around configuration wherein an upper flexible substrate has patterned conductive material on an extended portion to allow routing of signal lines, electrical ground, and power. One or more integrated circuits or passive components, which may include connecting sockets, may be mounted onto the flexible layer to reduce cost and complexity. Such implementations may eliminate a flex cable and may allow a bezel-less configuration.

Abstract:

A method for installing memory into a computer module. The method includes providing a used computer module, which comprises a housing to enclose a hard disk drive, a memory module for random access memory devices and a central processing unit coupled to the hard disk drive and coupled to the random access memory. The method also includes removing a top cover from a base of the housing to expose the hard disk drive and the memory module. Thereafter, the hard disk drive is removed from the base of the housing and a second hard disk drive is inserted onto the base. The top cover is reattached to the base of the housing to complete the installation process.
